Après tout, pourquoi n’existerait-il pas une journée dédiée à ce petit bout de plastique, qui peut sembler anodin pour certains, mais qui reste un objet reflétant toute une génération de musiciens et mélomanes : premières mixtapes des producteurs électroniques et hip-hop, démos captées sur magnétophone, compilations et autres duplications faites maison, une décennie avant le peer-to-peer…
Une fois de plus seul représentant parisien du Cassette Store Day, Balades Sonores vous invite samedi 17 octobre en boutique, pour y découvrir une sélection large et audacieuses de bandes magnétiques et musicales avec, en fin de journée, un showcase surprise de Hawaï Burger, pour fêter la sortie de la compile (cassette, évidemment), du jeune label garage-pop Buddy Records !

Et pour préparer vos oreilles, voici quelques exemples de ce qui sera disponibles à La Fabrique Balades Sonores :
Jargo: This Frequency Of Light Is All I Know, (FoxBox Records)
This is a home recording made by Jargo in a room no bigger than you would expect to see in any particular house in Lanarkshire. The songs on this E.P deal with issues such as squabbling sisters, banjo’s in need of repair, a coastal town in Fife and the possibility that death is but the turning off of a frequency of light. This release is a preview to the soon to be released studio album “At Night When The Wind Calms Down” and showcases more of the lo-fi and acoustic influences the band hold.
